Commissioner Webb was asked to-day II charges
had been preferred against Trustees Henry john
son and A. P. Clark, which resulted In their re-
moval from Office on Tuesday last.
NO." replied Mr.. Webb, ''there were no charges
It was deemed better to reorganze the board.
What the order says IS true. The whole matter OF
their terms OF service was mixed. Mr. Clark'S
term expired year or more ago, and he has con-
tlnued as trustee" In the case of Mr. johnson Mr.
Webb reaf1lrlned his previous statement that no
charges have been made.
WHAT Ex-TRUsTEE JOHNSON SAYS.
Ex-School Trustee Henry johnson, speaking to a
STAR reporter to-day about his removal, said he
Was not a 'sorehead," nor would he make any pro-
cept he did not like the statement attributed to
Mr.. Webb by The STAR that in case his (Mr. john
removal would be made known This, he said, was
construed an 1nsinuaton that there were charges
againSt 1shh him He had he said written to
charges against him. The reason for the change
among the colored school trustees, as understood
by Mr johnson was request made by citizens Of

county. DR.. Francis and Mr.. johnson, the
other two trustees, reside in the northwest. Mr..
Cornish appointed in Mr.. Johnson's place, has not
yet been assigned to division, but there is talk
OF a redistribution as to put him in charge Of
the eighth division schools: in which he lives, Dr.
Francis in charge OF the schools OF the 7th divis
ion, In which he resides, and Prof. Gregory in
charge OF schools in the county. In such event
rather interesting condition OF affairs will exist
In the county. Prof. Gregory sought some years
ago for admission to one OF the white schools OF
the county for his SON. Having been refused he
began suit against the trustees, which is still
pending. In case he is assigned to the county
schools he will have control OF the school which
his son was refused admission and his action Will
be watched with some interest.

THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
The Work OF Repairs and Improve
ment-Architect Clark,s Report.

Mr.. Edward Clark, the architect Of the United
States Capitol. In his annual report to the Secre
tary Of the Interior states that the work in pre-
pairing for the new elevators for the Senate and
House wings is well under way, and gives an ac-
count OF other Improvements made in the interior
OF the building. But little has been done at the
frescoes on the belt Of the rotunda this season,
owing to the absence Of the artist, Mr.. Costaggni
1t is expected that he will soon resume his work
and continue it until completion.
The report states that nothing has been done to-
ward lighting the Senate wing with electricity, as
pr a fSI IN Tae act
available The contract for the completion OF the
marble and granite work of the terrace and grand
BILE Co., and the work Is now in progress under
conditions to complete the north stairway by the
1st OF December next and the entire work by June
The principal work on the grounds has been the
extensive grading and carting away the earth
from the rustic terraces and thus forming an easy
slope from the walks OF the new terrace. The
earth taken away has been deposited in the road
way OF the streets at the south of the Capitol and
usea IN ning up the ponds in its immediate vicin-
1ty, tnereDy aDatlng nuisance.
Mr.. treQ Law OlmStead, the landscape gar
gener, In his report says that 1t is not advisable
for the surfacing OF the unfinished roadways Of
the eastern ground because it is thought that
Congress VIII soon desire to have the present road
bring the new library into convenient and harmo-
NOUS connection with the Capitol. In that case
modification OF the course OF some OF the exist
ing roads VIII be necessary. and it would be better
10 defer the expense of finishing them until plan
for the purpose has been adopted.
The report states that extensive Improvements
and repairs have been made to the court house
building IN this city. All the Old portion has been
heated by steam and placed In good condition.
owing to the extension OF the heating apparatus
additional fuel vaults are required near the boiler
rooms.
The sum Of $37,5se was expended during the
year for general repairs at the Capitol; $o56O on
the grounds; Capitol terraces, sl49,2 200; lighting

Women in the Civil Service.

THEY CANNOT BE EXAMINED FOR APPOINTMENT UN-
LESS NATURALIZED.
That provision OF the civ1l-servce rules which
requires women not born In this country to take
out naturalization papers before they can be ex-
amtned, does not appear to have attracted much
attention hitherto. The rule which is based upon
the use OF the word "citzen" in the law, provides
that every application in order to entitle the ap-
plicant TO appear for examination or to be ex-
alnined must state under oath the full name ad-
dress, &C., "citzenship," and other facts. In the
application blanks the first question is: "Areyou
citizen OF the United States? II not by birth,
have you been naturalized, and when?" 1t has
been the ruling OF the Commission all along that
woman not born In this country must take out
naturalization papers before she is entitled to be
examined. Not many cases have arisen under
this ruling. The most recent Is that OF lady OF
Ohio, who wrote to the President complaining
that she had been cut OF from the privilege OF ex-
animation because she had not taken out naturali-
zation papers. She protested that she is as good
and loyal citizen as anybody, and that, with the
exception of Mrs Langtry, she had never heard OF
woman taking out such papers in this country.
The letter was referred to the Civil-Serv1ce Com.
mission.
